Try Checking Your settings for Defrag.
I remember an old post, where someone else had a similar problem..
The solution was that the machine was doing an automatic defrag, everytime
they logged on..
I beleive you can go into computer management, then into Scheduled tasks,
and delete the defrag task from there.. .
